Notes
Roast longer for crispier edges or reduce cooking slightly for softer juicy texture. Freeze cooled lamb slices inside airtight containers for easier reheating later. Slice carefully using a sharp knife for cleaner serving. Customize flavor using smoked paprika or lemon zest. Store leftovers refrigerated for three days and warm gently before serving.
